Chandler Aggravated Assault Lawyers

The crime of Aggravated Assault is a very serious felony offense in Arizona. If convicted, you can expect severe penalties that could include jail or prison time. In addition, you should expect hefty fines, restitution, and probation which is sometimes imposed even after incarceration. If convicted, you will also have a criminal record that will likely have a negative impact on your ability to find employment, rent an apartment, and other areas where a background check may be required. You will also lose your right to possess a firearm, which in some cases can be permanent.

In Arizona, assault is defined as knowingly or recklessly causing physical injury to another person; or knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult or provoke; or intentionally causing another person to reasonably fear imminent bodily harm.

Often, people get charged with aggravated assault by committing what may have been a misdemeanor assault, but because they caused a serious injury or used a weapon or dangerous instrument while committing the assault, the charge is elevated to aggravated assault. There are many other ways to elevate a misdemeanor assault to an aggravated assault. To find out more about how a misdemeanor assault can be converted into a felony aggravated assault, see A.R.S. § 13-1204.

Penalties

The penalties for aggravated assault first-time convictions in Arizona can vary based on many factors. Aggravated Assault charges in Arizona range from a Class 6 felony to a Class 2 felony, with class 2 being the most serious. Additionally, Aggravated Assault can also be charged as either a “non-dangerous” or a “dangerous” offense. For the first-time offender, most non-dangerous felonies are probation or prison eligible. However, all dangerous felonies require mandatory prison.

If you have been charged with aggravated assault in Arizona, you should take it very seriously and seek representation from an experienced criminal defense attorney. Even a Class 6 felony conviction could mean prison time and affect you for the rest of your life.

I’m impressed. Without details about an ongoing situation, I want to say I am soooo happy I signed... up for the Attorney’s on Retainer program. I’ve been a client for some time, but never really expected to need them. Well, low and behold a very unhinged man made it a point to come straight at me and attack me, then claimed a different story. I am so happy that I already knew exactly who to call. I called the emergency line and Mr. Harris and Mr. Victor quickly got all over helping me. They jumped right in without hesitation. I highly recommend their program, not just for firearm owners that carry, but for anyone living in these crazy times where we might be forced to defend ourselves.read more

I was needing good representation. I was really impressed with their handling of cases in the past... and thought they had I good reputation. They did a good case review on everything, developed a good strategy and after almost a year and a half prevailed and even uncovered some procedural issues. You can tell everybody you talk to there is passionate about what they do. I think them for their professionalism and expertise.read more

I was involved in a live fire situation with one fatality. the county was looking at me for... discharging a firearm near an occupied structure and some other things. once I called AFF, the county quickly changed their tune and said it was a righteous shoot, and I would NOT be charged. interesting how having a lawyer can change things, and having a GOOD lawyer makes all the difference.read more

Andy and his team at Attorneys for Freedom are incredible! I was quickly able to get an appointment... for a consultation after a small incident and Andy took it from there. My experience with them was second to none, and after all was said and done, Andy and his team came in considerably under budget and sent me my refund check incredibly quick. If you're anything like me, you've never been in a situation that needed a lawyer. I called around 10 different law firms in Arizona, and I can say with 100% certainty that I made the right choice with choosing Attorneys for Freedom. Are they the cheapest; no. Do they deliver; absolutely. I 100% recommend this firm for anyone in the state of Arizona.read more
